There is actually kind a bit of depth in the characters in Stardew Valley and their dialogues and behaviours change as you befriend them and/or marry them.


Cos of the older style graphics and me having had a Super Nintendo when I was young and remembering spending hours on it, it's felt like a real trip down memory lane this weekend and I really enjoyed it


I also enjoyed Links Awakening and at first I didn't think I would after being spoilt (graphically) with BOTW!


What do you think is most important to you? do you go for the games with best graphics (most real-life looking) ... 3D but cutesy/cartoony.. or 'old-skool' style like Stardew Valley 2D top down??
I'm glad you're enjoying it, it's really good and has a lot of gameplay

I haven't played Link's Awakening yet but it looks good

I tend to prefer 3D but cutesy/cartoony in general. Like games such as Animal Crossing, Story of Seasons, Rune Factory, Luigi's Mansion, Pokémon, etc. I think for some games though it's nice to have the most real-looking, like for games like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption. I like the old-skool style like Stardew Valley too, it really just depends on the game. I tend to like the Stardew Valley/old-skool style for games like Graveyard Keeper, and Littlewood, I think it fits them well. I think all 3 styles can be good depending on what the game is
